Elite Tax Law and IRS Dispute Resolution
Dealing with the Internal Revenue Service is an incredibly daunting experience. The IRS possesses vast resources and extraordinary power to collect on tax debts, including the ability to seize your assets, place liens on your property, and dramatically reduce your take-home pay through wage garnishments. Ignoring the problem will only result in rapidly accumulating penalties and interest. Sterbick and Associates steps between you and the IRS, providing a powerful shield against their aggressive collection tactics. Attorney John Sterbick leverages his nearly three decades of direct experience working with IRS agents to secure the most favorable outcomes possible for his clients.
- Offers in Compromise: If you cannot realistically pay your full tax liability, the firm can negotiate an Offer in Compromise, allowing you to settle your tax debt for significantly less than the total amount owed.
- Installment Agreements: They expertly arrange manageable, structured payment plans with the IRS, preventing immediate asset seizure and giving you the breathing room to pay off your debt over time.
- Penalty Abatement: In cases where tax debts ballooned due to unforeseen circumstances like severe illness or a natural disaster, the firm vigorously petitions for penalty abatement to significantly reduce your overall financial burden.
- Stopping Levies and Garnishments: If the IRS has already initiated hostile collection actions, Sterbick and Associates acts with extreme urgency to release bank levies and halt wage garnishments, ensuring you can continue to support your family.
Comprehensive Bankruptcy Services
When consumer debt from medical emergencies, credit cards, or a sudden job loss becomes entirely unmanageable, bankruptcy provides a powerful, constitutionally protected lifeline. Sterbick and Associates offers judgment-free, highly strategic bankruptcy counsel, helping you navigate the process with dignity and clarity.
- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often referred to as liquidation bankruptcy, Chapter 7 allows qualifying individuals to completely discharge most unsecured debts, providing a true clean slate. The firm meticulously prepares your petition, protects your exempt assets, and guides you swiftly through the process.
- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: For individuals with a regular income who are facing foreclosure or vehicle repossession, Chapter 13 allows you to consolidate and reorganize your debts into a single, manageable monthly payment plan spanning three to five years. The firm works diligently to create a plan that fits your budget while legally protecting your most valuable assets from creditors.
